Bespoke Interiors for the Westside's Vertical City
Custom Kitchens & Cabinetry in Century City
Century City rises between Beverly Hills and Westwood as a planned skyline of glass towers and tightly designed residences. PineWood Cabinets brings custom kitchen design, cabinetry, and full remodeling to its high-rise homes, where every inch of plan is considered and craftsmanship is expected.
A Cabinetry Studio for Century City Living
Century City occupies the former backlot of Twentieth Century Fox, a square mile of master-planned towers bounded by Santa Monica Boulevard, Olympic Boulevard, and the green edge of the Los Angeles Country Club. Its skyline is defined by the twin Century Plaza Towers, the curved facade of the Fox Plaza, and the residential high-rises that line Avenue of the Stars and Century Park East and West. Crafting custom cabinetry since 2006, PineWood Cabinets designs and builds custom kitchens and cabinetry for the people who live above this skyline, from the storied Century Towers and the Park Place condominiums to the newer residences clustered near the Westfield Century City center.
Living in Century City is, almost by definition, living in a curated space. These are residences where the floor plan was drawn by an architect, the views toward the Pacific or the Hollywood Hills are part of the value, and the homeowner has chosen the convenience and security of a managed tower over the sprawl of a Westside lot. That choice shapes what a kitchen needs to be. Square footage is precise rather than generous, ceilings and structural columns are fixed, and the line of sight from a great room to a galley kitchen matters enormously. Cabinetry in this context is not decoration laid over a room. It is the architecture of the room.
Our Century City clients are entertainment executives, attorneys from the firms clustered along Avenue of the Stars, retired residents who have downsized from larger Brentwood or Bel Air homes, and international owners who keep a Westside base near the dining and shopping of the Westfield center and the cultural draw of the Annenberg Space and the nearby Hammer Museum in Westwood. What they share is an expectation of finish and a tolerance for nothing improvised. They are accustomed to a building where things work, and they want a kitchen that holds to that standard.
Working in a Century City tower is its own discipline. Freight elevator scheduling, building engineer sign-off, neighbor-quiet hours, and the realities of moving cabinetry to a thirtieth floor all factor into how a project is planned and built. We design around those constraints from the first measurement, so the installation is as orderly as the building expects and the finished kitchen feels as though it was always part of the residence.
Designing for the Vertical Westside
Century City was built on the idea that a city could be planned all at once, with order and intention, rather than left to grow on its own. The towers along Avenue of the Stars share clean lines, restrained palettes, and an architectural confidence that does not need ornament to make its point. Our design philosophy here follows that lead. We favor flat-panel and finely detailed door styles, integrated and concealed appliances, and material choices that read as quiet and deliberate rather than busy: rift-cut walnut, lacquered surfaces in soft neutrals, honed stone, and brushed metal that catches the changing Westside light through floor-to-ceiling glass.
High-rise kitchens reward precision over scale. A Century City residence rarely offers the open footprint of a Brentwood ranch, so the work is in the detail: full-height pantry walls that disappear into the architecture, appliance garages that keep a clean great-room sightline, drawer interiors organized to the centimeter, and lighting tuned so a galley feels expansive after dark. We treat the boundary between the kitchen and the living space, so often the same room in these towers, as a design problem to be solved with cabinetry rather than ignored.
We also design for the way Century City homes are actually used. Many residents entertain with caterers and dine out among the towers more often than they cook elaborate meals, while others have made a serious kitchen a priority. We build for both: clean, gallery-quiet cabinetry for the entertainer and fully provisioned working layouts for the cook, always within the fixed envelope the building provides.

What We Build for Century City Homes
From a full high-rise kitchen remodel to a single custom built-in, our work spans every part of a Century City residence.
The High-Rise Kitchen Remodel
Renovating a kitchen inside a Century City tower means working within plumbing chases, structural columns, and HVAC routing that cannot move. The reward is a kitchen perfectly fitted to the residence and its views. We reconfigure layouts to open the cooking space toward the living area and the windows, replace dated builder cabinetry with custom millwork tuned to the home, and integrate appliances so the room reads as architecture rather than a collection of parts.
Every remodel is planned around the building as much as the unit, with logistics, protection of common areas, and engineer approvals handled as part of the design rather than left to the last week.
Custom Cabinetry & Built-Ins Throughout the Home
A Century City residence asks more of its cabinetry than the kitchen alone. We design and build media walls that frame the skyline view, home-office systems for the executive who works between meetings on Avenue of the Stars, dressing rooms and closet millwork, wet bars for entertaining, and the kind of concealed storage that keeps a compact high-rise feeling open and uncluttered.
Designed and finished to match the kitchen, these built-ins let a single material language carry through the whole residence, so the home feels considered from the entry to the primary suite.
Why Century City Residents Work With PineWood Cabinets
In a neighborhood built on planning and precision, our cabinetry is made to the same exacting standard the towers were.
High-Rise Fluency
Building Logistics: We plan around freight elevators, certificate-of-insurance requirements, quiet hours, and engineer approvals so a tower installation runs without friction for the homeowner or the HOA.
Precision in a Fixed Envelope: When structural columns and plumbing chases cannot move, the design lives in the millimeters. We measure, draw, and build to that tolerance.
Westside Access: Century City sits minutes from Beverly Hills, Westwood, and Santa Monica, and we serve clients across that corridor with the same attention.
Craft Standards
Built, Not Boxed: Our cabinetry is custom-made rather than ordered from a catalog, so it fits the residence exactly and reflects the finish level a Century City home expects.
Material Integrity: We select woods, stones, and metals for character and longevity, and finish them to read as quiet and intentional in the clean light of a glass tower.
Whole-Home View: From the kitchen to the closets and media walls, we keep one design language so the residence feels coherent throughout.
From the towers along Avenue of the Stars to the residences near the Westfield Century City center, PineWood Cabinets is the studio Century City homeowners trust for custom kitchens and cabinetry built to last.
